Detailed Description

Abstract base class that may be implemented to handle new project file types within the QGIS application.

This interface allows extending the QGIS interface by adding support for opening additional (non QGS/QGZ) project files, e.g. allowing plugins to add support for opening other vendor project formats (such as ArcGIS MXD documents or MapInfo WOR workspaces).

Handler implementations should indicate the file types they support via their filters() implementation, and then implement handleProjectOpen() to open the associated files.

Since: QGIS 3.14

Member Function Documentation

◆ createDocumentThumbnailAfterOpen()

bool QgsCustomProjectOpenHandler::createDocumentThumbnailAfterOpen ( ) const

virtual

Returns true if a document thumbnail should automatically be created after opening the project.

The default behavior is to return false.

Definition at line 20 of file qgscustomprojectopenhandler.cpp.

◆ filters()

virtual QStringList QgsCustomProjectOpenHandler::filters ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns file filters associated with this handler, e.g.

"MXD Documents (*.mxd)", "MapInfo Workspaces (*.wor)".

Each individual filter should be reflected as one entry in the returned list.

◆ handleProjectOpen()

virtual bool QgsCustomProjectOpenHandler::handleProjectOpen ( const QString & file )

pure virtual

Called when the specified project file has been opened within QGIS.

If true is returned, then the handler has accepted this file and it should not be further processed (e.g. by other QgsCustomProjectOpenHandler).

It it is the subclasses' responsibility to ignore file types it cannot handle by returning false for these.

The base class implementation does nothing.

◆ icon()

QIcon QgsCustomProjectOpenHandler::icon ( ) const

virtual

Returns a custom icon used to represent this handler.
